concerning peculiarity that in the largely cashless digital economy in which we live that gambling in NSW pubs and clubs remains a $95bn a year information black hole. Clearly that cannot be allowed to continue.”
A three month cashless gaming trial is now underway at Wests Group’s New Lambton venue in Newcastle with up to 200 members signed up to use the digital technology (Prime Wallet), developed by Aristocrat Gaming, which has been installed on 36 gaming machines using Bluetooth to connect player’s mobile phone and the machine. Tis enables the players to transfer money directly from their gaming wallet to the machine.
Te wallet can be used to fund gaming play and players can set their own spending or time limits, access real time spending data and take a break or self exclude from gambling plus access other responsible gaming tools and services. Players cannot load funds into the gaming wallet from the gaming floor.
Te contentious cashless gaming card system is being pushed by NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet despite the fact he has little support from his cabinet or the state opposition, who are hesitant about installing anything which may affect the pokie industry, a staple gambling diet, which has fed Australian coffers for years.
Tree other manufacturers have been approved for cashless technology however in October the NSW state delayed its clubs reform bill and therefore the cashless card gambling is in limbo.
Meanwhile, wagering on sports, racing and betting events in NSW is conducted by TAB licensed under the Totalisator Act 1997 and is the exclusive provider of off-course retail betting services in NSW.
Tere are two licensing lottery operators in NSW – NSW Lotteries Corporation (subsidiary of Tabcorp) which conducts games such as Lotto, Lotto Strike, Oz Lotto, Powerball, Soccer Pools, scratchcards – and Keno (also a subsidiary of Tabcorp) and Club Keno Holding as joint licensees operating Keno.
